The WhatsApp group, called ‘PM Updates’, contained Boris Johnson’s closest advisers and discussions within the group touched on key Covid policies – such as shielding the clinically vulnerable, and the Department of Health and Social Care’s plans for responding to the pandemic.
But as plans for the inquiry took shape, Martin Reynolds – Johnson’s principal private secretary at the time – set the group so that messages sent would vanish after a period of time. It means potentially key discussions that took place are unavailable as evidence.
I can’t believe I actually have to say this.
You are not a government official, working in a professional capacity having conversations with your collegues about the job you’re doing.
Your personal discord, etc, is completely irrelevant.
That’s not an argument, that is a false statement.
You’re not making any sense!?!
Edit: Can this not just be accepted in the spirit that it was intended…?
